Steps to promote King Volkswagen

Volkswagen sales up 14% in 2010 and increased 20% in January 2011. Volkswagen has vowed to win the hegemony of Toyota in 2018.Chung show producers leading European automobile not talking.
Volkswagen, owner of brands Audi, Skoda and Seat, has announced to sell 644,200 cars in January, up 20% compared with 538,600 last year.

In China, the company sold 217,900 vehicles, up 30.6%. Sales increased 3 in India, but also modest 7,400 vehicles.

In the U.S. market sales have increased, but VW does not excel, at 6.8% to 26,300 vehicles. At home, in Germany, up 4.3% to 74,800 vehicles.

Christian Klingler board members said the company is "very pleased" about the results of starting the new year.


2010 - Year competition.


Results summarizing the global sales in 2010 showed that Toyota has retained the top spot automotive manufacturers leading three consecutive years.

Toyota's sales in the U.S. market decreased but increased in the emerging markets particularly in China up 19%, helping Toyota's 2010 sales worldwide rose 8% to 8.42 million vehicles.

GM sales in China rose 29%, helped worldwide sales reached 8.39 million vehicles, up 12% over 2009. No. 2 position.

Volkswagen, the largest manufacturer in Europe despite a 2010 global sales of 7.14 million units, ranked third, but the growth rate of 14%, higher than Toyota and GM, which makes Volkswagen confident statement Dad would sit king stripped of Toyota in 2018. This is entirely possible.

Volkswagen Touran Match released

Volkswagen has announced the VW Touran MatchThe VW Touran is VW’s answer to the Vauxhall Zafira and Renault Scenic – a more petite people carrier. Based on the VW Golf underpinnings, it is a safe and conservative – some might say boring – seven-seat, mid-sized people, carrier.

It’s hard to get excited about the Touran, with its boxy profile and drab – though comfortable – interior. But it’s very practical with its three rows of seats, which can actually be removed (they aren’t too heavy) giving you a very useful van for lugging gubbins around.

But the Touran is a decent enough drive, even if the ride is a bit on the firm side., and its build quality shows through in the distinct lack of shake, rattle and roll.

But now it’s time for the Limited Edition / High Spec /Value for money option, so VW has released the VW Touran Match. It offers £1600 worth of extras for a £500 premium which, assuming they’re extras you actually want, offers good value. You get front and rear park assist and the RNS310 SatNav in the deal. You alos get a multi-function wheel, MDI and iPod connection. You also get a new set of alloys, twiddles to the grill, smoky covers for the lights and privacy glass.

Engines are the 1.4 litre TSI, 1.9 litre TDI and two power levels of the 2.0 litre TDI. Gearbox is a six-speed manual with either a six or seven speed DSG ‘box depending on model. There is also a Touran Match BlueMotion.

New Volkswagen Golf Plus BlueMotion Introduced

Volkswagen has introduced the new VW Golf Plus BlueMotionThere seem to be even more new VW Golf variants than there are Porsche 911s, and now we’ve got a new one to add to the mix – the new Volkswagen Golf Plus BlueMotion – as part of the VW Golf Economy Range.

The new VW Golf Plus Bluemotion is basically a Golf Plus with the standard BlueMotion tricks added to improve economy and emissions. These include low rolling resistance tyres, revised gear ratios, start-stop and regenerative braking – the usual box of tricks.

The 1.6 litre common rail diesel engine in the Golf Plus BlueMotion – down from 1.9 litres in the old Golf Plus BlueMotion – manages 65.7 mpg and emissions of 114g/km, an improvement of 11% in economy and 10% in emissions. The upside of all this is a big drop in the benefit in kind cost and big savings on fuel. VW reckons that the average Golf driver – who does around 8,000 miles a year – will only have to fill up once a month.

The new VW Golf Plus BlueMotion comes in either S or SE trim levels, and the price premium over the standard Golf Plus is £325, meaning the Golf Plus BlueMotion starts at £17,570. And the trim levels are half-decent. The SE gets ABS and ESP, together with six airbags and AirCon. Move up to the SE and you get Park Assist, Cruise and alloys. You also get the irritating little light telling you to change gear on both models.

Volkswagen Polo UK details

Volkswagen has released prices and specs for the UK of the new VW PoloThe VW Polo has been a huge success for Volkswagen. Over 11 million Polos have been sold since it was first launched nearly 35 years ago. But one thing you could never accuse the Polo of was being exciting. It was dull, well made and economical transport. But the world is changing and every car maker is bringing out funky economy models that compete hard against the Polo. So VW had to get its act together on the latest VW Polo. Fortunately it has.

The new Polo is a good looking car, taking design cues from VW’s successful Scirroco.It is bigger than the outgoing model but lighter, and has managed some good improvements in economy and emissions. Which is all good news. So there should be fair few takers for the new Polo, which arrives in UK showrooms in October, with orders starting from now.

On offer is a range of five engines (more to follow) – three petrol and 2 diesel. You can have the naturally aspirated 1.2 litre petrol with either 60 or 70 PS or the 1.4 litre with 85PS. The diesel units are both 1.6 litre common-rail units with either 75 or 90PS.

Volkswagen has had a play with the trim levels on the Polo, and you now get a choice of four – S, Moda (the funky one), SE and SEL. GTI and BlueMotion models will follow next year. VW is also offering some pretty upmarket options for an eco-box, including touchscreen SatNav, Climate and DAB.

Test Drive: 2010 new Volkswagen Eos 2.0T

Eos, for those not well-versed in Greek mythology, was their culture’s goddess of the dawn. So it’s not some made-up corporate-speak name like “Integra,” even if the average recognition level with Americans hovers close to 0%. Sadly, America’s recognition of the Volkswagen Eos in general has been hovering near 0% since it first debuted here way back in 2006; on sale for four years now, you still only occasionally see Eos convertibles on the road today.

Why has this car enjoyed such minimal market success here where other VW convertibles have succeeded so greatly (Cabrio, Beetle Cabrio)? Perhaps it’s important to examine what the Eos is and what the Eos is not.

The Eos is: Clever.

The Eos isn’t the first car to have a folding, retractable metal hard-top. If you want to be technical, Ford was doing it back in the 60′s -- but the first modern adapter of the PRHT concept was Mitsubishi with it’s ASC-engineered 3000GT Spyder back in 1996. What makes the Eos’s metal-origami roof clever, then? Well, not only is it a coupe and convertible, but it’s also got a sliding glass sunroof incorporated into it -- for when you want some wind and sun, but not all of it. Clever stuff. Watching the roof go up and down is a spectacle, as it always is with these folding-hardtop cars.

Technical cleverness on the Eos is more than skin deep, too. Like almost every VW, it comes equipped with the 2.0TSI turbo motor. And while you can get it with a traditional six-speed manual in base “Komfort” trim, the optional 6-speed DSG Automatic is a nerd’s transmission dream. This twin-clutch automated manual shifts right now, not in a second -- by design, it’s always got the gear above and below the one you’re in pre-selected on the other clutch, so no matter which way you go it’s just a matter of swapping clutches. If you’ve never driven a car with a DSG, you wouldn’t believe how creepy it feels. There’s no shift interruption at all; there’s not really even a bump when you change gears -- the rpms just drop and you’re in the next gear.

The Eos is: Cute.

This is important for the Eos’ two primary clienteles, which I figure to be: Florida retirees, and upper-class Sorority girls. It’s cute as a button. Just looking at it, you want to give it a hug. This means it has approximately 0 appeal to people like me, who are more into torque curves than body curves. Still, relative to it’s competition (which these days are cheap four-seat drop tops like the Sebring and V6 Mustang) it’s much better looking. But if I wanted to have a cute 4-seat drop top, for this price it’d be a Cooper S JCW, which is actually fun to drive… which brings us to our next point.

The Eos is Not: Fun to drive.

Sorry. All that German heritage, cool technology, turbochargers and DSG gearboxes and TLA’s does not make the Eos fun to drive. It’s a significantly heavier MKV GTI, and if you know anything about cars, heavier is bad. The 2.0T feels overburdened in the Eos, with much more noticeable turbo lag than in a GTI or Jetta. There used to be an optional 3.2L 250bhp VR6, but VW killed that option in 2009 when they realized no one really cared how fast the Eos is. The DSG transmission is cool, but it’s not the most intelligent gearbox out there when it’s in regular “drive” mode, popping off upshifts at part throttle as early as it can to save gas, and while downshifts themselves are quick and seamless, it’s almost like you’re sending a request to a group committee to get one to happen.

Pop the shifter down into “sport” mode and it hands onto revs with tenacity, happily cruising along at 4,000 rpm and refusing to upshift. Which would make sense if you’re carving corners in a GTI, but in a 3,600lb Eos, it feels like it’s breathing heavily just to keep up. There’s a “shift it yourself” gate, but no paddle shifters to go along with it, so you end up not bothering most of the time.

But remember, this car is for Florida retirees and sorority girls, two groups which frankly don’t give a crap about torque curves and transmission downshift response. They mainly care that it’s cute.

The Eos Is: A Cruiser.

Once you get out of red-mist full blooded attack mode, it starts to make more sense. Hold down the fancy chrome lever and watch the top fold. Turn on the stereo to your local mix channel, relax in the comfortable leather seat, and just float down the road. Here it comes into it’s own: the tight structure doesn’t transmit rattles and shimmys like a Sebring, and if it’s not as pretty as the now-dead Pontiac G6 convertible, it doesn’t have a wheezing asthmatic pushrod V6 you need to drown out with Oldies, either.

The ride is squishy-soft compared to the CC Sport I jumped out of into this. There’s body roll, perhaps not Buick quantities. It actually rebounds over bumps. This isn’t a sports car, so don’t mistake it for one and you’ll enjoy it a lot more.

Conclusion: The Eos is a great car for someone wholly unlike myself.

Maybe it’s my own fault for lacking a certain depth of understanding. The Eos wasn’t built for me. Car guys should -- and will -- skip this chic cruisermobile over in favor of the lighter, cheaper, stiffer, more fun-to-drive MKVI GTI. If you’re a retiree or a sorority pledge, you’ll be pleased as punch with an Eos. And that’s what defines a good product -- how well it’ll satisfy it’s intended audience. Here, it’s a direct hit.

A special thank-you to Chris Duncan at Southern States Volkswagen in Raleigh, NC for letting me test drive the CC and putting up with all my questions.

New Volkswagen’s Superb TwinCharger Engine

The good die young. This simple statement happens all the time in our lives. The superb, eco-friendly, very tractable 1.4 turbocharged and supercharged engine that Volkswagen calls the ‘Twincharger’ may die a premature death.

This fabulous engine was VW’s answer to make smaller engines as powerful as ones with a larger capacity. People used to say that there’s no substitute for cubic inches and this little Twincharger has made the playing field a little more even for the small boys. VW were actually pretty confident of this little engine that they plonked one in the Scirocco 1.4TSI and in the Polo GTI. Unfortunately, VW now claims that these babies are expensive to produce and they are seriously considering replacing them with one that has a single turbocharger.

What they’re basically doing is replacing an engine that has been crowned “Engine of the Year” both in 2009 and 2010. I suppose real technical progress has to suffer as a result of the bean counters located in VW’s accounting department complaining about added costs. Some Smart Alec there must have voiced their discontent that plonking in an extra item in an engine increases costs. Imagine if they produced 100,000 1.4TSI engines and if the cost of adding a supercharger will cost VW $100 per unit that would mean ordering $10,000,000 worth of supercharger. So if they produced a 1.4 with only a turbocharger instead of two types of forced induction machinery, they’d save a whole lot of cash. Of course it makes perfect sense, but you don’t get to see something different and unique powering certain VWs anymore. And that’s pretty sad news to me.

So what does VW do to comfort us poor souls who are enthralled with new and innovative technology for the cars we see on our roads? It tells the chaps at Autocar (whose sources first brought forward this piece of news) that turbocharging technology has now advanced a fair bit and they believe that they can achieve the same performance figures that the Twincharger makes with their latest Direct-injection engines coupled with the latest turbocharging technology. I do not doubt the fact that VW can make this possible, but I just think that it is a slightly traditional and therefore slightly boring approach to engine development.

Don’t you just hate the people in accounting? This is just like British Airways stopping the Concorde from flying due to costs. Imagine the fact that people in the 1970s and 1980s can cross the Atlantic ocean faster that they can do so now. Imagine us motorheads losing another unique piece of engine technology. This piece of news isn’t as epic as the Concorde not flying, but it is sad news indeed.

New Volkswagen Jetta 2.0 TSI Sport DSG

What is it?

Volkswagen’s all-new Jetta saloon. It’s headed to UK showrooms in spring 2011, but it’ll be bigger news in the US, a market much keener on compact saloons for which this improved and enlarged version of VW’s Golf-based four-door has been expressely designed.

VW is aiming for massive sales gains in North America over the next five years. Previous versions of its Jetta and Passat have been over-priced and over-specified for US tastes, it says, and also extremely difficult to make a profit from, having been built in Europe and imported to the US.

See the road test pics of the VW Jetta

This new Jetta will be built exclusively in Puebla, Mexico, and goes on sale in the US this year for less than $16,000. Which makes it as cheap as a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic saloon; cheaper even than a Chevy Cruze in Chevrolet’s home market.

Unfortunately, UK versions of the Jetta won’t be such compelling value – but they should still look cheap. While entry-level US Jettas make do with cheaper multi-point injection petrol engines, less standard equipment, hydraulic power steering, a torsion beam rear axle and slightly harder cabin plastics, British ones will get more expensive TSI and TDI powerplants, multi-link rear suspension, electro-mechanical power steering and proper slush-moulded dashboards. So they’ll cost more than US Jettas to make.

Still, the Jetta should start at roughly £17k for a 1.2 TSI in the UK, rising to around £22k for a range-topping 2.0 TSI petrol with DSG – value which, for a roomy family saloon, isn’t to be sneezed at.

What’s it like?

Our test Jetta was a 197bhp 2.0 TSI DSG – a close, if not quite perfect match for the range-topping Jetta that’ll be offered in the UK next year.

VW has added 90mm to the overall length of this car. It’s lost some of the appealing compactness of the old Bora and current Jetta as a result. But with 70mm of that extra length gone into the wheelbase, the Jetta’s now a cleverly packaged, surprisingly accommodating passenger car. Golf-derived it may be, but there’s more legroom in the back of the new Jetta than you’ll find in a Honda Accord, Seat Exeo or Volvo S40, and enough head and shoulder space for a 6ft 3in occupant to get truly comfortable. The Jetta’s boot is an enormous one too: 510 litres with the seats up.

The cabin quality and material tactility of our test car was good, if not quite up to Wolfsburg standards, but both will be improved in time for the Jetta’s European launch. In the main, the car’s cabin fixtures and fittings felt solid and expensive, in line with those of a familiar European Golf.

Second-rate refinement is another way you might have expected a Mexican-built VW to fall short of European standards, but this Jetta won’t confirm expectations that way, either. Mechanical refinement is very good; our TSI was smoother and quieter than a Golf GTI. It wasn’t quite as well isolated from wind and road noise, and didn’t quite have the same hushed and absorbent secondary ride as the Golf. Still, its rolling refinement felt good enough to put the likes of the Renault Laguna and Honda Accord to shame.

Slightly slacker body control made our Jetta fall short of the Golf’s standards on handling and roadholding, but that was at least partly due to softer North American chassis settings.

On northern California’s twisting coastal ‘Route 1’, the Jetta felt like a larger and slightly more cumbersome drive than the old car, and lacked a little of the trademark precision of European VWs. However, it provided just enough cornering composure to make for a sporting drive at times, without compromising the above-average refinement expected of a saloon car.

A flexible engine and adaptable DSG gearbox made the Jetta feel a fast enough performer too, with a generous reserve of power for overtaking.

Should I buy one?

You should seriously think about it. Especially if your initial reaction was to dismiss this new Jetta as the usual pokey old Golf saloon, because you’ll be surprised at how capacious it is, and therefore at the value it represents.

VW will quite neatly capture the European D-segment in a pincer movement with this car. By the middle of 2011 it will be offering a larger, more upmarket and more expensive new Passat to those who might otherwise buy a BMW 3-series or a high-end Ford Mondeo. And at the cheaper and more compact end of the market, VW will have this new Jetta to put up against the Renault Laguna, Volvo S40 and Citroen C5.

Against those second-string family saloons, provided VW delivers on the quality promises it’s making about the European versions of the Jetta, we can well imagine that it’ll find a keen following in the UK. It’s not quite a Skoda Superb with a VW badge on the nose, but it has a little of the Skoda’s magic ingredient: it just seems to deliver more than expected for your money.

New Volkswagen Passat: More Wagen, More Volk?

Here it is: the new Volkswagen Passat Wagon 2011 VW wants to take America. How can I do? It's $ 7,000 cheaper than the previous Passat, while growing.
Just as it did with the new Jetta, the Passat has dropped the price increase to what they think the American mid-size sedan customers really want - more space for less money. Although started at $ 27,000 the Passat, VW will be sent to a new base model with sub-$ 20,000 sticker, is specifically designed for the mass testing of cupholders in the four-cylinder Camry, contracts and sonatas.

The new Passat will be three engine options: 2.5-liter 5-cylinder, good for 170 horsepower and 177 lb.-ft. torque, 2-liter diesel engine with four cylinders, 3.6-liter VR6 with 280 hp and 258 lb.-ft. Passat has a base five-cylinder with five-speed gearbox, the six-speed automatic to most customers.

VW Passat body has grown four inches to 191.4 inches and now promotes the most legroom in the back of the classroom. As for the interior of the VW promised that the show the similarity Tiguan dashboard "much more expensive car, check.

But the growing-but-get-cheaper Jetta transformation is particularly welcome to his fans. It is also contrary to the efforts of another automaker not normalize their models around the world, but to add more features for all classes of lower prices.

And here's what VW will offer Passat buyers in Europe, where it's still a near-luxury car:

Here, as the new Minister of State for U. S. Golf:
Men from Wolfsburg spend $ 1 billion in new factories in Tennessee only medium sedan. Volkswagen wants the world's largest automaker in 2018, and it takes nearly tripled its sales in the U.S. than 360,000 last year to 1 million 800 thousand, which would be the VW models - makes a big VW and Nissan today.

In America, "Frankly, we lost our way," said Jonathan Browning, VW in the U.S. is safe. "We have become a marginal player in this one of the major world markets. It is not acceptable."

He reached the stage of the band Train, whose lead singer, Pat Monahan thanked the company. "Many of us were conceived in a VW bus, so thanks for life"

For all VW history in the U.S., the beetle and other iconic vehicle that has a history of Americans expect orders from Germany and has excited when they misbehave. It did not work with the Phaeton, Volkswagen is working with a badge indicating the Chrysler minivan than a Microbus revival of his own. If a train that VW wants to maximize the audience for their work. The trick is to get people to tune in instead of tune out.

Volkswagen Passat. New photos

To wait for a premiere of new generation Volkswagen Passat remains not long. And here on site Auto Motor and Sport already was published computer drawings new Passat which as journalists assure, practically will differ nothing from serial model.

According to Auto Motor and Sport, new generation Passat will be made on a platform of old model. Certainly, the suspender will be seriously modernised, however will be constructive changes not too much. To be surprised to such decision Volkswagen it is not necessary – by this principle new generations Golf and Polo have already been constructed.

And still new Passat becomes hardly more than the present car, and the design of the car too will change. Outwardly Passat will resemble in many respects on updated Phaeton which has been recently presented on a motor show in Beijing. Official premiere Volkswagen Passat of new generation should take place in October of this year on a motor show in Paris.

New Volkswagen Passat. First photo

German edition AutoBild has published the first image of new generation Passat. And, as assure edition of the newspaper, before us the photo of serial model, which official presentation will take place in october this year on a motor show in Paris. Representatives of German concern refuse to make comments, that image of a photo new generation Passat had appeared in hands of journalists AutoBild – apparently, it is a question of elementary information leakage.

New Volkswagen Passat becomes slightly larger than the present car, but thus the weight of the car should even decrease it becomes possible using modern materials in a model design. As to design wait for revolutionary changes is not necessary. Outwardly the car will resemble in many respects on updated Phaeton which has been recently presented on a motor show in Beijing.

What will enter into a base complete set of model, yet is not informed. But it is possible not to doubt that equipment Passat will appear very good – in this plan Passat should come nearer closely to senior Phaeton.

Under cowl Volkswagen Passat, apparently, will put only turbo engines, and the most modest will appear the petrol motor in volume only 1,2 l which gives out 105 h.p. Also there will be a 1,4-litre unit with forced aspiration and engines in volume of 2,0 l. Well and the most powerful unit there will be V6 in volume 3,0 l, capacity of an order 300 h.p.

Volkswagen Phaeton updated

On Peking motor show Volkswagen will show the modernised version flagman model Phaeton. The representation car which has not got a great popularity in the updated, monumental image, probably, will seem more attractively to buyers of large premium-sedans. German designers have considerably changed style of a front part in the spirit of latest models VW, only instead of black plastic the radiator enclosure is completely executed in chrome. Behind restyling version have new light-emitting diode flashlights.

In interior changes less. Wheel has received the updated blocks of command keys automobile systems, the liquid crystal screen on a metre panel became larger, and the navigating system of Phaeton the first among all Volkswagens has got support Google Maps.

As before, the main advantages of the Phaeton is a presence of an all wheel drive and a pneumosuspender already in the base version. The choice of engines has not changed: 3-litre diesel V6, 3,2-litre petrol V6, and also V8 in volume 4,2 l and 6-litre W12. Besides a base body (5,06) the version extended on 12 sm is offered.

Volkswagen Passat 2012

The motor show in Paris will open only in half a year, however, already now clearly, what cars there will be shown. And the most important premiere of Paris should become new Volkswagen Passat – Germans already have almost finished creation of this model, and its sales can begin this autumn!

Volkswagen Passat following generation will keep the general proportions of a body, however, car "muzzle" will receive absolutely new design. It will be made approximately in the same style, as at last generation Polo or Touareg.

Surprises and under a cowl expect us. So, the unit in volume 1,2 l becomes the base engine for Passat. It will give out 105 h.p. Someone, of course, will tell that 1,2 l for Passat are ridiculous. But do not forget that now Passat has the motor capacity only 102 h.p. (the atmospheric unit in volume 1,6). Thus the engine in volume of 1,2 l not only is more powerful on 3 h.p., it still possesses also the best twisting moment – 175 Nm against 148 Nm at the unit in volume of 1,6 l.

Russian Volkswagen – the first sketch!

Volkswagen, at last, has published the first drawings of a new sedan which will be issued at factory in Kaluga. This car is created specially for the Russian market, and its price will make an order 440 000 rubles for model in a base complete set. For comparison, now the cheapest car of mark Volkswagen (it is a question about new Polo) costs from 472 000 rubles.

Thus the sedan which will be constructed, by the way, on platform Polo, will appear much more largely a hatchback. According to Frank Vittemann, the head of mark Volkswagen in Russia, according to company preliminary plans, sale of a new sedan will begin this autumn (then the prices will be declared also). However, mister Vittemann has underlined at once – while it is preliminary plans. For Volkswagen will not begin serial release of the car, manufacture will not be completely debugged yet. «Engineers for us go on the first place. If they tell that everything is all right – then we will begin sale. If will tell that it is necessary to wait – we will wait. But while all goes according to plan», - has declared Frank Vittemann.

Volkswagen reveals the 178hp Polo GTi!

Volkswagen has finally unwrapped the all new Polo GTi. This high-performance Polo has a supercharged 1.4 liter TSI engine under its hood which is able to crank out 178hp at 6,200 revs and 249Nm of torque from as low as 2,000 revs.This enables the mini GTi to hit 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds and it will continue till it reaches 225 km/h. That’s actually pretty decent as anything below 8 seconds
